I have had this error in Alterac-BG when trying to change the showoption for nonmanaclasses:
GridManaBars\GridManaBars.lua:327: attempt to index local 'ro' (a nil value)
GridManaBars\GridManaBars.lua:71: in function `func'
Grid-42967\GridFrame.lua:877: in function `WithAllFrames'
GridManaBars\GridManaBars.lua:71: in function `func'
Dewdrop-2.0-42392 (DewdropLib):665: in function <...erface\AddOns\DewdropLib\Dewdrop-2.0\Dewdrop-2.0.lua:604>
Is it possible, to add a check, so that manabars for ghost are hidden?

Made it so that when dead the mana bar follows the healthbar show as full when dead mechanic.
The biggest issue with the mana bars has never been how to make it show (thats the easy part), it is what it should look like.
Most importantly, the mana bar shouldn't distract from the other indicators but still be large enough to see without squinting. With so much going on in the grid square already, I've found (the few times I hacked a mana bar in) it to be too distracting. Then again, I think the side indicators are also too distracting.
Just to explain why I initially came up with Grid: I'm running on 1024x768, and with the arrival of TBC I needed raid frames that were as compact as possible and could replace Squishy. Initially Grid didn't even have player names. Therefor you can guess that I can only agree with Pastamancer - side indicators and mana bars are too much for my taste, but as long as a plugin doesn't cause problems with other Grid plugins, I'm glad to see people working on the code (now if only someone would write a better UI for configuring Grid... ;) )
Having issues with mana bars not showing on units with mana in the event a raid member is moved to the location of one without a power bar in the grid, that is, someone changes groups.
The mana bar will usually fade from the non-mana class in my experience.
Mana bar hiding is still occuring on units with mana when they join raid groups.
I see this happen the most in BGs. Fixes on ReloadUI.
Easily replicated, just play a few BGs.
Also had this happen in AV last night, however, it only appeared to happen when I was using horizontal mana bars. With vertical mana bars it was displayed properly.
This was with whatever was the current version on files.wowace.com as of ~5pm GMT-5 yesterday.

Line 366 in GridManaBars.lua. Changing status = "Never" to status = false solves this problem for me. Never seems to cause it to not be hidden but it also causes it to not be shown if it was already hidden. Which is what happens when a unitid of someone with a hidden power bar is replaced by someone with a mana bar.
I realise this is quite off-topic from the subject of mana bars on Grid, which, by the way, is a fantastic addon. However, I was wondering if the "technology" of showing bars on Grid could be easily adapted to timers? I'm not versed in LUA programming so I don't know how easy/hard this would be. As a resto druid, I try to keep Lifebloom rolling on multiple people. Having timer bars (rather than numerical digits which can be difficult to follow) directly on the Grid raid frames would be ideal in tracking the duration of the Lifebloom buffs. I'm sure there are other applications for this as well (priest HoTs, blessings etc etc). Is this something that you've considered working on at all?

Already tryed GridStatusHots? There you can choose (for the sideindicators) different colors for your and everyone else Lifebloom Hot.
This way, you can use one sideindicator to show all Lifebloom Hots and see, when your Hot ends. Perhaps this helps?
It's come to my attention that mana bar detection in raids still, well, sucks.
AV weekend is upon us and provides a great testing environment for this, maybe we can get a fix?
It seems to work fine if you dont have the hiding non-mana option turned on - or at least its never not worked for me, and I dont have that option enabled.
Do you have this option turned on, or is it misbehaving with it off too ?
Ive been busy of late so havent had a chance to try and work out whats going on - but when I get the chance, I will.

From my experience this only happens when you have non mana bars hidden. A few posts up in this tread i did provide a small fix for what looks like the bug to me. Since making this change in my local copy over a week ago, i have not had the problem.

Indeed non-mana is hidden and the fix proposed earlier in the thread appears to be working. Can we just have this committed?

Ive been trying to replicate this and am having no luck at all - does it happen often, or was this a one off ?
Did adjusting the ratio and/or anchor side fix it ?

Oops ! That should be fixed now.
